Mai is coming soon but there's probably 1 character I'll put in before her.

Mai is perfect for summer, when is time to less clothes xD

More proof that the XIII console port is on the way? http://dreamcancel.com/?p=735

That's the best rumor I hear lately. Oh, please, I want this coming true!

[desmond_kof]

No.17 posts here right? Can he clarify and elaborate what he posted?

If they are trying to get the game to EVO, they need to try to get the game out ASAP, unless they are doing a side tournament by bringing a cabinet.

I sent a PM to him to ask for more information.

They usually announce their games within a month of release. That's what happened with NeoGeo Station and I thing they officially announced 2K2UM on XBLA just about a month out. Supposedly, MrWizard wanted to get an SNK game in so this would be his chance. They do need to release the game ASAP if this is their plan but so long as it's out a month or so before EVO, they could probably get it in. SSFIV AE is coming in June and wil be at EVO. Maybe we'll get an early June release.

Please let SNK do this Right and not do something dumb like release the game IN July....

(not that it matters Ill  be happy when its Released at All anyways)

[THE ANSWER]

Oh God that wasn't... oh no

[nilcam]

Oh God that wasn't... oh no

Huh?

[Shinra Shiranui]

A spot at EVO would really do our community some good. I hope this isn't a rumor

Oh God that wasn't... oh no

For what I try to translate, it looks like No.17 says that SNKUSA is with negotations with EVO to get in. But he doesnt say anything about arcade version or console version. So, yeah, the question is could a game participate with its arcade version or it needs its console version? I think SSFIV:AE case is the answer.

I'm guessing nilcam made the mistake of trusting google translate.

[Ashspiralingblood]

Is 1 month or 2 months enough to promote this game

Updated story with translation by Phoenix:

In relation to KOF @ Evo, it’s not going to be a main game, but can it be held as a side tournament? is what THE_ANSWER is negotiating with SNK’s America branch. If this will happen, I think that Japanese people who happen to be traveling (in america) at the same time will be able to compete in the tournament easily in this important tournament.

Edit: Nevermind, beaten.

My Japanese isn't perfect, but it looks to me as if No. 17 was saying that THE ANSWER is talking with SNKP about KOFXIII appearing at Evo. Then saying that if it did happen, Japanese people could easily enter a famous tournament.

It certainly doesn't sound like anything definite.

Also, is there a backup plan for the (likely) possibility of no console KOF XIII in time for Evo? Any cabinets around there?

[Shiranui_ninja]

Ok, all is clear now... No.17 missunderstood something The Answer told him..

No console version for now, guys...

EVO allows only console in the tournament

Why is AE the answer? Its releasing for consoles in June.
